Established in 1994, the Washington Township Museum of Local History features a range of exhibits that describe life in the Washington Township and Tri-City area from the time it was a farming and ranching community to its slow but inevitable change to a suburban community. Exhibits showcase the lives of the families who moved to the area, the kind of work they had to do, and how they managed to establish a thriving community. The collections in the Washington Township Museum of Local History come from the Mission Peak Heritage Foundation and the Washington Township Historical Society, two historical groups with a history of more than 100 years. The museum has acquired a number of other valuable collections since then, and it organizes docent-led as well as self-guided tours and field trip opportunities for local history students.
